The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 530 Harvest and Experiment (First)
Giant algal forests are distributed in long strips, totalling about 36,000 acres, although the long strip is at the western end close to the sea and at the eastern end far from the sea.
Lester is currently exploring the western end of the ocean, about a third of which is about 12,000 acres, of which 2500 acres are the distribution range of magical giant algae. Further east, the depth has gradually reached 80 metres and the seabed has been rough, in some places reaching depths of more than 100 metres.
The fish species that live in this part of the algae forest are also growing in size, and there are even fierce predators, such as sharks, lurking on the seafloor.
Absolutely.
Even under the water, Lester can easily kill fierce sharks if he is not flexible enough to run, not to mention the help of the great water magician, Archer.
As long as there are no sea monsters, he is safe at the bottom of the sea: “The eastern end of the giant algae forest is no longer suitable for seawater farming, the water is too deep, there are sharks, ordinary fishermen come here to harvest giant algae, it is very dangerous... Even if the territory promotes fighting, ordinary fishermen may have fighting energy in the future, it is still dangerous. ”
The knight's territory is land and sky.
The sea is out of range.
Even knights of water properties can bind their feet in the sea and drown accidentally. Not just knights, but magicians are equally incapable of conquering the sea, and human flesh and blood are not born to act in the sea. Whether practicing as a Dragon Knight or a Demon Warlock, you will suffer when you go into the water.
That is also why the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is tirelessly attacking the continent - even the island nations have difficulty conquering the sea, especially those on land.
Without the presence of Sea Shemale Archer, Lester would have had difficulty developing the ocean.
The ocean is synonymous with danger, at least until technology has developed to allow underwater operations. Even on the planet of the age of science and technology, humans cannot completely conquer the sea, and in the face of the sea, which is buried with countless resources, they can only stare dry. Not even a few countries are able to exploit offshore oil.
However.
Lester owns the Sea Monster Archer, and the ocean is no longer so mysterious.
“Archer, it takes a lot of time to explore the giant algae forest, and today we're going to develop the magic giant algae. I've redesigned the placement of giant algae weeds, and in the future the cultivation of magic giant algae will gradually move to the seaside… you underwater, cut off all the magic giant algae in this area, and let them come out of the water, and I'll send fishermen to salvage them. ”
“Mmm.”
Archer is a good sea monster who leaves nothing to be desired and will never refuse Lester's assignment.
Watching her sink to the bottom of the sea, Lister was very emotional - of all the rewards given him by the Smoke Mission, the most important thing was that he was engraved, not even the Little Fire Dragon Leo could compare to the position that Engraved was in his mind. If he had to choose to give up, he would rather give up Leo.
Certainly.
This idea will not be revealed to Leo.
Otherwise, as soon as Leo blows up, he might actually fly away —— and it's hard to say, it's delicious here at Lester's, and he's not necessarily willing to go.
……
Magic giant algae fishing operations, soon unfolded.
Nearly 600 acres of potion giant algae are outside Lister's planning range and can be chopped off.
Magic giant algae and giant algae are not difficult to distinguish, the leaves are elongated by magic giant algae, and the leaves are slightly thicker by ordinary giant algae.
Archer's ability to work is unquestionable. Soon there will be a huge cluster of brown giant algae floating on the surface.
Black Horse's slab fishing team has grown to more than 300, with Lester transferring a hundred of them, densely numb searching the sea for the magical giant algae that drains with the waves and transporting them ashore. Then the serfs loaded the magic giant algae and pulled them to the magic factory in Port Town and handed them over to Chris Truth.
Among them are the ordinary giant algae cut in a hurry, but the magician has a way of distinguishing between magic and ordinary plants.
Lester did not forget to tell the officer who was conducting the transport: "Don't throw away the wrong ordinary giant algae, send someone to find out if they are edible, and if there is any other value to take advantage of. ”
36,000 acres of giant algae, if you can't eat them and they don't work, that's a waste.
The 600 acres of potion to be harvested, only Arjun is harvesting continuously, and the speed is not fast.
Lester would also dive underwater, harvesting as much magic as possible, his diving breath holding capacity was getting stronger, and now he could swim underwater for 25 minutes without ventilating - this was the speed at which he progressed without Arjun controlling the current to help him.
First, he took two giant algae sprites and three giant algae sprites, now contracted, with him to migrate the wormgrass, in accordance with the magic potion giant algae plantation plan he drummed last night. Maximize cultivation by migrating as far as possible to offshore areas and allowing insect grass cover not to overlap with each other.
Then a section of water up to 20 meters deep is selected and the test field is plotted.
Experiment with the growth, harvesting and reproduction of giant algae.
In his knowledge of algae, this is a very primitive plant, and even some algae cannot be called plants, but primitive creatures.
But in this world, algae mostly breed fairy worms, and naturally they are divided into plants.
He had observed the sea belt before, and there was a little crease on the leaves of the seabelt, and the crease on the leaves of the ripe seabelt would rupture, and there would probably be seeds of the seabelt in it —— he had let Archer experiment, and a ripe seabelt buried in the sludge, and soon the seedlings of the seabelt would sprout.
Giant algae are roughly similar to seaweed and can also be bred in this way.
And with the help of Fitz and Tam, it's easier for him to breed giant algae, allowing the Pokémon to breed themselves - powdered by corn.
Pokémon have “magic” to grow.
Like Jura can plant thorns at will, Nami can plant mangroves at will, Mickey can plant corn at will, and Fitz and Tam can plant giant algae at will. However, the elves are not professional farmers after all, they are planted at random, regardless of quality, density and location.
Nor will they take care of them after they have been dispersed, all of which need to be managed manually.
Especially at the nursery stage, the seedlings sprayed by Pokémon are strong and weak, many are not qualified, and the seedlings bred by hand are more qualified.
The only regret is that Pokémon do not distinguish between magic seeds and ordinary seeds - essentially magic or artificial breeding.
Now.
Giant algae cultivation is not in a hurry, and Lester's main experiment is giant algae harvesting and continued growth.
He cut apart the giant algae from the test fields by 10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters and so on, leaving giant algae of varying lengths to see if they would die or continue to grow. If it can continue to grow, giant algae can be harvested one by one, and if it cannot continue to grow, seedlings must be bred.
It's evening time.
Lister, who has been busy all day, gets the good news: "Brother, while harvesting the magic giant algae, Archer discovers another giant algae elf worm. ”
“Really? Take me to find it. ”
Dive, find Pokémon, seduce Jade Powder, and make sense of the contract success. So far, he has obtained two Pokémon and four Pokémon Bugs from the Giant Algae Forest!
It's like crashing into a Elf's Nest.
And there are two thirds of the giant algae forest, waiting for him to explore, and the smoke task hints at a more central secret, maybe it's really the elf he's been waiting for.
“Elf, Elf, don't worry, I'll come to you when I get rid of this potion giant algae! ”
